Duane Hamm

Duane Dean Hamm, 84, passed away Aug. 31, 2016, in Hillsboro, Kansas, with his loving family around him. He was a loving husband, dad, grandpa, brother, uncle and friend.

Duane was born to Edward and Bertha Hamm in Hillsboro. His school years were attending a one-room schoolhouse in Durham with his brothers and sisters.

On March 26, 1983, he married the love of his life, Shirley Tucker, and they enjoyed 33 years of blessings.

He retired after 37 years of driving milk routes for AMPI.

Duane was an avid fan of Kansas City Royals baseball, Kansas State football and basketball, and Kansas City Chiefs. It was during moments in these games that his quiet demeanor would erupt with a shout.

He loved his church and family so much, but above all, he loved his Lord and Savior.
